StudioB is starting to roll back into form after many months of spotty releases. The last year was hard on everyone, and the creative community was gut punched as venues closed and artists did whatever they could to remain productive and inspired. This episode features new music from these Richmond-area artists, all released in 2021, much of it worked on during lockdown in 2020.

Lisa Smith knows a lot about helping people with their obstacles. Whether she approaches helping her clients via a number of methods including hypnotherapy, needless acupuncture, spiritual healing, mind training and neurolinguistic deprogramming. In her own words, “almost always the roots of a given problem are a set of beliefs formed early in life. This process literally un-wires these beliefs for good.”
When clients hire me to podcast like a pro the number two question – number one being “What should my podcast be about?” – is usually “how do I edit the podcast audio and get it ready for publishing?” That’s totally understandable. Audio production and mixing can be confusing with a steep learning curve if you’ve never worked with recording and editing software. In this video, we walk through some basic audio editing steps and techniques in Audacity, a free digital audio workstation. It doesn’t address everything as audio editing and mixing is a never-ending pursuit full of tricks, tips and tools that go further and further into detail when it comes to audio manipulation. But it should serve to provide a foundation on the road to podcast production. As always, for more details, questions and one-on-one instruction, please contact me via the contact form on the front page of the website.
Ink To Spill is what has been described as a “virtual band”, with songwriter Bob Sauer living in the Tidewater area of Virginia and the rest of the band spread out around the country including areas such as Seattle and Chicago. But they all come together to make music. And they work with the RVA-based Marketing Mixtape . Bob talks about getting the band together, dealing with the pandemic when they were already something of a virtual band separated by geography, inspiration and the creative process. Also hear Ink To Spill songs Hyd’n (latest single), Lenny and Chalk Lines
PodcastSpeaks is almost here. I can’t wait for this exciting 2-day event with the amazing Jane M Powers.
I met Jane last year at a Synapse meeting. Our meeting was one of the serendipitous benefits to a new business culture full of online Zoom video meetings. I know, I felt Zoom fatigue as much as anyone. But after it had settled in, I started to wonder how we’d go back to the old normal. I was meeting people from all over the world every week!
When Jane and I got together we found we not only had a lot of interests in common (the outdoors, mountain biking, an insatiable desire to constantly learn, low tolerance for b.s.), but that we possessed skill sets that complimented each other. She was great a turning skills into money by jumping all-in and getting to the heart of people’s passions, and I was good at NONE of that. Well, truth be told, my background in audio and recording, radio, creative services in the ad world, and the aforementioned insatiable desire to constantly learn fueled my interest in podcasts and podcasting. I truly believe that podcasts are one of the greatest messaging, branding, self-discovery and lead generation tools available to businesses and non-profits. And Jane agreed. So we came together to offer PODCAST SPEAKS.
PodcastSpeaks is an online, virtual event being held April 29 and 30 to teach businesses how they can use podcasts to speak (literally!) directly to customers, potential customers, contemporaries, collaborators, sponsors and networkers.
If you’re a small business person, entrepreneur or anyone who wants to control the narrative surrounding their business, ask yourself a few questions:
Do you have a story, mission, movement, or message?
Are you passionate about growing a profitable business?
Would you like to effectively engage and connect with audiences?
Do you want to easily create lasting content?
Do you want to confidently convert 5 or 6-figures from every stage?
Do you want to successfully generate a stream of leads?
The answers are obvious. Click here to make a fully refundable deposit to hold your space and attend this free event.
To hear more about the event, listen to this episode of The Good Eye Podcast with Jane as my guest.
I’m sort of old-school when it comes to equipment and software. I don’t like subscriptions. I rarely sell old gear. And I don’t really take advantage of “free trials”. That said, I learned Audacity, the free DAW for audio editing and mixing, because a number of my podcasting clients were using and I found it to be surprisingly able. (I’m a Pro Tools guy which brings its own special brand of heartache. But at least their support sucks! I digress.) There ARE some things about Audacity that I’m not keen on such as how when you want to record in multitrack mode you select the number of tracks you want then just hit record. I know. That sounds user-friendly and logical, but I like to set up my session and inspect it before rolling. Like I said, I’m old school. But there’s a new version of Audacity out and the reviews have been positive – good news for podcasters and project studio producers who are not as old-school and are just fine using a free program. Here’s Music Radar’s take on it. Give me a shout if you don’t want to deal with any of this when producing your podcast. Some folks understandably feel they have enough on their plate with the ideation, hosting, interviewing and promoting of their podcast.

Ryan Kent is a published poet, writer and former vocalist for the band Gritter.

He’s currently working on several projects performing spoken word readings of his work with musical accompaniment.
Joel Morgan has been a guest on my Good Eye Podcast. So when he asked me to join him for a conversation on his Dropping Keys podcast I jumped at the chance. Joel is a life coach, an author, a pastor, and podcaster, and he, like many of us (ALL of us), has been through his share of challenges.
Joel makes sense for a living. He might fight you on that because that’s the kind of guy he is. But every conversation with Joel is thoughtful, insightful, honest and fun.
His podcast is available everywhere.
